If I buy the new iMac (M3), from time to time I would like to use it as the display for my MacBook M2 Pro (16"). Not just mirroring my display, but using the camera and speakers (especially for Webex, Zoom, or Teams conference calls). Is this supported? If so, how?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.1
This is not supported. There were only a few iMac models that could ever function in Target Display Mode. None of the current generation can do that.

The 27" Apple 5K Studio Display (2022) is a standalone display.
16" M2 {Pro/Max} MacBook Pros are among the computers compatible with it. Note that since this monitor has high resolution, Thunderbolt input, and no "on-monitor" menu controls for things like brightness, it is really only compatible with the Macs and iPads listed on the Technical Specifications page.
Studio Display - Standard glass - Tilt-adjustable stand - Apple

That is, it's not as platform-neutral as most {DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C (DisplayPort)} monitors.
Thank you MartinR. Do you know if that is also true for their latest Studio Display?
The Studio Display has the features you asked about.
Can I use the new iMac (24" M3) as a full use display w/ my new MacBook Pro (M2 Pro)?
